Chapter 171
A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 171
Eventually, Jack announced the breaking off of his engagement to Rose. It seemed that he didn’t care about how this would affect his prestige. He didn’t conceal the fact that Rose had an abortion, and he didn’t even care when others denounced him as inhumane.
Seeing Rose come to such a bad end, people couldn’t help feeling sorry for her,”Rose is a woman who fell from heaven and straight to hell. Love among the rich is as transient as a fleeting cloud. You cannot rely much on it.”
Jack made the decision without telling anyone, so not surprisingly, he was asked for an explanation by Mr. Gu. But Jack already made up an excuse.
“How could she marry into this house and be my wife when she couldn’t even protect our descendants?”
Mr. Gu eventually left this matter alone and did not pursue further. He also turned a blind eye to the ongoing fight between Jack and Jacob.
It was only after Jack left that Mr. Gu suddenly became seriously ill. Given this, trouble was brewing for the members of the Gu family.
“He is absolutely mad for more power and status!” Jacob sneered as he listened to his subordinate’s report in his office. His eyes turned to dark and deep as if he had countless worries in his mind.
Jack must have something to do with Mr. Gu’s sudden illness.
Did he think that by doing this, he could obtain power and protect his interests easily? That was ridiculous!
Jacob’s subordinate asked tentatively,”Sir, should we…” He didn’t finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
Jacob tapped on the desk and sneered dismissively,”Keep monitoring him. I would like to see what kind of tricks he is playing.”
……
At the same time in Haicheng City.
Andrew and Debby were a bit tense as they looked at the young man in a business suit sitting in front of them in their house.
“Uncle and Auntie, don’t be so nervous. My name is Paul. I’m a friend of Emily. I’m here because Chinese New Year is around the corner. Emily asked me to fetch you two and come with me to Jingshi City, so that you can spend the new year together. The young man was lying about his name. It wasn’t Paul. He wore a genial smile and talked to them politely and gently, which made himself endearing and felt familiar. In addition, he chatted with them for a while, so Emily’s parents were gradually off their guard.
“Oh, I see.” Debby said as she discreetly looked over the man,”You’ve said that you are Emily’s friend. Are you her boyfriend?”
“Not yet,” said the man without letting down his smile.
Debby and Andrew looked at each other and came to understand that this young man failed to capture their daughter’s heart, so he came here to charm his way through them.
“Emily is always genuinely concerned about you two, so we’d better set forth as soon as possible,” said the man.
Andrew snorted coldly as he recalled the unpleasant memory between them and Emily. “Why would such an ungrateful person worry about us? I think she is simply curious about whether we are dead or not!”
After all, this young man was not a member of their family, so seeing Andrew openly talking about their family problems, Debby was a bit sullen. “Stop talking too much,” she pulled on Andrew’s shirt and said,”So sorry about that. Don’t take it to heart, Paul.”
The young man kept talking in a gentle and polite way. “There is no real hatred in a family. If Emily was not concerned about you, why would she ask me to bring you to Jingshi City?”
